Tina, you are welcome. Sorry for the cold and rain but glad you were home as well/

Sheri, glad that you finally had some good weather, and esp on Christmas,

goodnight everyone. Sweet Dreams

Our Christmas day was freezing cold....at least it doesn't snow when it passes minus 20.

We have a storm front moving thru. Today is rain then We may have snow tomorrow. That is sad because Val bought me a jacket and I need another size. We have this week to return it and get the correct size.

I slept bad last night. I see a nap in my future. Happy Thursday everyone.

I hope you get the coat exchanged Junie.

We are getting a storm tomorrow as well. Hopefully it stays on it's track. I have to take GG to two ultrasound appt's tomorrow, one at 8 am and the other at 11 am(empty bladder than a full bladder). It's an hour drive just to get there...the storm say's it will start at 2 pm. If so, we are good....I'll get home just before it starts to fall.

Good gosh, my grand kids fight with each other.

Safe Travels, Sunny. Thanks about the coat. It can be returned after thisvweek, it is just that my DD will be back at work and so the trip will be more involved.

Sunny, sorry DD has to go through this testing.

Tina, I keep asking and I can never remember the answer - has this year been what is considered rainy for your area? Glad you weren't in that 20 car pile up.

Junie, today I'm returning everything Johnny gave me for Christmas. I asked for one specific thing, which I did not get, and got a bunch of stuff that's either flat out ugly or too big.

Well Sheri, at least he tries..All Rod ever says is " I didn't get you anything" Then he thinks I am going to walk in a store ( you know a farm store or a store like Lowes) and walk down an idle and buy whatever so he is vindicated. I have no idea where his head is at.

I am hopeful that some day bed will figure out that I do not have a list of wants from such stores, or if I do they are not gift type things.

I was watching the storms across your area, Carol. And thinking about you. Stay safe everyone. -20 is cold, C or F.

Yes it sure is, Tina. We will stay safe. We went to see what the kids got from Santa, then we came home. We will be staying in for a day or 2, so We will be OK.

I think I will wash clothes today and straighten up the kitchen.

I'd take the gifts from the farm store Junie...and I don't think it's possible to buy me clothes too big either Sheri. I wear my clothes like a 'bag lady' DH says

DD's tests are nothing serious...just ruling out any troubles with her nightly bed wetting. I know its psychological...not physical. It's just that if I cancel, I'll have to wait at least 6 months for another appt.

Oh, I have bought many things from a farm store, and one of them here even had some nice clothes and kitchen items, not to mention "some" food, but I really want my bathroom attended to, so.......

Glad that the tests are nothing serious, and I guess better to rule out things. Good luck.

I am glad it is nothing serious with your GG, Sunny. I wet the bed too until I was about nine. I was taken to many doctors about it. But it was just a case of immature bladder. I finally grew up. (I think)

I am wide awake but I will go to sleep soon ( I hope)

G' nite

Sweet dreams all.

Good morning.
Bills paid and thank you cards written.

Hi all. Both appt's for GG are completed...and I had I had quite the drive coming home. The snow storm hit hard when I was about 20 minutes short of reaching my house...thankfully I am not scared to drive in snow but the lady in front of me was. She played with her brakes and swerved steadily...I was so glad to see her pull off to let me pass.

On a good note, I did manage to get to Walmart between the two hour wait between the appt's. I bought all next years gift wrap, cards and such on clearance.

Yay for getting home safe. So happy for you and your GG.

I have bought a few items for next year as well.
But, for the most part I already had/ have things for next year.

Good night to you all. Sweet Dreams everyone.

Hello all, well it wouldn"t let me get on ,on my IPad with Nana so used ColoNana, and a new password, so far it works, LOL!
Sounds like everyone had a good holiday, we did too , very quiet,, did make a turkey dinner for just us, have leftover turkey to make some enchiladas for us for New Years Eve, talked to kids on the day and FaceTimed so we could see the kids and baby Jameson, was nice.
Well it"s almost my bedtime so hitting it a little early, got to do my year end bookkeeping and set up next yr bills, that"s always a fun time. LOL

Night all, Nana (alias COLONANA)

COLONANA...well I like that as well. Turkey dinner... I need to do that.
We Skyped with my Daughter and her family in Virginia on Christmas eve.
You just made me think....We have to find someone reliable to do our Taxes !

Thanks so much, Nana !

Sweet dreams all.

I had trouble getting in as well Nana when I switched computers.

The storm is finished...but I can't go clean it up with GB here, he was supposed to go up last night but the roads were too bad so I'll take him home after lunch. DH will have another job on his list when he gets home.

I have plans to clean, clean, clean for New Years.

I am waiting until after New Years to clean now so I'll have things on my list to check off. Or that's what I'm telling myself.

Sounds good Tina.

I absolutely despise glitter...with a passion, and my house is full of it everywhere. We just took the tree down as well. Mind you, the ornaments are just sitting on the couch....I hope it's slow and steady that wins the race.

I'm waiting for the plows to do their final pass then I will take GB home.

Sunny, one of my daughters hates glitter too. I don't mind it. Makes the dust look sparkly on the furniture. I'm got the ornaments off the tree but I can't take the tree down myself. I'm waiting for Johnny to decide to help me but mostly he's been coming in and going to sleep. He's depressed and sleep seems to be his answer.

Aubry got $390.00 for her birthday and Christmas so yesterday she, Shelley, and I went shopping. Shelley told her she needed to tithe 10% to their church and Aubry decided to give a $35.00 gift certificate from Target to the Ronald McDonald House (which is where Shelley and Tracy stayed while Colby was sick) because it's listed on the wish list. Other than that Shelley let her spend all but about $60.00 of it. It was hard to witness her waste that much money. She bought over $100.00 of makeup. She's 11 years old, not allowed to wear makeup out of the house, so she'll put it on and wash it right off. She bought $50.00 of supplies to make slime from Hobby Lobby, and some other junk at a $5.00 and under store. Shelley and I both kept suggesting she save some of it for later but she wouldn't hear it. This was instead of her having a birthday party and it wasn't up to me.

Nana, when I first read your name it was on Junie's post and I thought it was colon ana and I thought "this is a weird but probably interesting person".

I agree that is a lot of money for an 11 yr old to spend at one time. I hope that down the road she realizes she should not have done so. I guess we all have to learn. At least she donated a portion of it. That was a teaching moment.

There is some glitter in my rug as well. I think glitter at Christmas unavoidable.

Well hope I am intresting. LOL!
Today it has been snowing most of the day, about 5 inches out there...... put a video on Facebook ...
We leave our tree up till New Years, then it will all be back to boxes.
I am not fond of glitter much either, glad my girls were not into that growing up....
Well off to get chicken ready to bake.

Nana

Of course you are interesting, Nana.

If my tree were up, we would be leaving it up until Epiphany ( January 6 th). So I will leave my Christmas ceramics and Nativities out until then instead.

Ok well I will say goodnight now. Sleep tight !

Evening ,
It"s almost my bedtime, we are going out for breakfast so have to get up early, taking hubbys younger brother, he is autistic so will be an adventure, we go to a cafeteria type restaurant so he will have lots of choices.

It"s still snowing here, have about 6 inches at least, and it"s cold...thought we left that in Colorado,LOL!
WellI am off to bed, have a good night all.

Nana

G'night Nana !

Sweet dreams all.

G'nite, Tina ! Sleep well.

Keep that snow Nana...there is a Colorado low heading for us on New Year's Day. I hope you take most of the snow out of it before it hits us

Sheri, Here when GG gets money for b-days or Christmas...we give her $20 to spend on whatever she wants(which is always on cr@p as you have just witnessed with your GD) then the rest goes into her savings account for college.

It is cold out there this morning. Minus 28 and falling...I plan to stay inside and clean all day.

P.S. the glitter we had as children wasn't as fine as the stuff of today....it won't even vacuum up, I have to use a sticky roller.

That is a good idea about the savings for College.

Good morning !

-28..... Ouch ! That is way cold. I do not think I know what cold is.. My sympathies to you. Have fun cleaning. Let us know if you were able to get all the glitter up...

Too cold. I wouldn't trade that for anything.
Happy New Year's Eve Eve. I have plans to be asleep when that happens. Do you have big plans?

We have a lot (for here) of snow on the ground.. my dog is not happy , thought he left all that in Colorado... they can keep it too far as I am concerned .. it's one of the reasons we moved to get away from the cold and wet...


We are going out for breakfast with the in laws this morning... I had to take my meds so I ate an English muffin already... never really eat a lot of breakfast so kind of a waste for me to go but hubby likes it so will get coffee and a piece of pie maybe... its cafeteria style so lots of goodies and choices..


After we get home have to work on next yrs budget... at least the first 3 months, then hubby will be on medicare and bills will change again .. it's got to be less than what it's costing us now with his former company... they raised their rates again for this coming yr so glad he is finally OLD as he puts it...LOL!

Well off to get ready to go... always something to keep me busy seems like... Have a good day all!


Nana

New Years plans...nine. I had thought we might get asked to watch the kids, so mom & dad could go out, but we have not been asked as of yet, so I guess not. D H is usually asleep by 8:30, so nothing special here. We used to go out to eat early in the evening, but have not for years

Sitting around reading today.

That is my preferred way to spend ny eve, Carol. I will soak some beans (maybe) and put them to cook on Jan 1st. But my kids are pretty iffy about beans so they may be frozen in single serving amounts just for me. I like them tucked into all kinds of meals, salads, soups and just about any pasta meal.
